Research direction

Start with the bake action implementation and compare its current inputs with the compression settings shown in .github/workflows/app-builder.yaml at lines 146-156. The work is complete when the action exposes an input that lets users customize settings such as zstd and force-compression for their Docker bake definitions.

Description

Hi 👋

In my current docker bake definitions I have zstd,force-compression=true, would it be possible to add an input to customize these?

Example:

I would be willing to contribute the change if this is accepted.
